I have been a patient at the Alfred Centre for some time now and the Alfretti cafe has become part of my routine. The coffee here is excellent, and the two barista’s are equally fantastic. Leah, who usually makes my coffee, remembers my name and always takes the time to ask how my treatment is going and whether or not the last coffee was to my liking so she can adjust accordingly. Despite some bad reviews I see here, the service and coffee do truly make up for any other minor “negatives”. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
